Spotted this on War Arrow's FB just now...

Hope they succeed - online communities are fragile things.

Good luck to them.

Who owns TAF right now?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

From the description on that link I imagine it's still OBC.

It'd be a lot cheaper for them all to start their own forum. :ask:

If OBC still owns it and seem to doesn't care about it why does WA suspect it's going to cost $4000 to buy out?
Surely OBC would be glad to have it taken off his hands?

Perhaps OBC knows WA is likely to try to pay. :dunno:

It's a small price to pay for a potentially huge and profitable atheist social network. :coffee:

Has War Arrow changed his name over there?
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Seeing how everyone is rushing to fund buying TAF, I'm wondering the same thing.

What's OBC up to these days anyway?
